UL style cables question
UL style cables question
(OP)
Hello,
I would like to ask you which parameters are given by UL XXX marking in the case of UL style cables. I am from overseas and it is not 100% for me the system of this marking.
For example for UL 1015 style cable I can tell from my limited resources that it is manufactured in AWG 30 - 2000 MCM range, maximum voltage 600V, Max temperature 105C with 0.030 inch PVC insulation. Which additional parameters are given by this marking ( f.e. flexible service, core stranding, spark test, flammability test, etc. )?
Where could I find differences between varios types of UL style cables and its subcategories ( MTW, AWM .. )?
I would ask if somebody know if there are UL standards to smoke density and dark fumes emission during burning ( equivalents for EN 50268, IEC 61034 ).
Thank you for answers.

If you are a UL customer that has active projects with them to obtain listings, you now get on line download access to all of their published standards.

Bottom line is you need to look at the standard anyways (UL758 or others) or give a call to your local wire manufacturer whom Im sure would clarify for you.
